A QUESTION OF CONSTITUTIONALITY?
Governor Jindal and his superintendent John White say that parents know best what is right for their children. This blog was written by a parent who has decided to compare what JINDAL and WHITE say is right for his child and his own research so that he can make the right CHOICE!
Background - The Louisiana Federation of Teachers, the Louisiana Association of Educators and 30 Louisiana School Boards have sued the State of Louisiana regarding the constitutionality of the new voucher legislation which will use taxpayer money to fund vouchers for private and parochial schools. This parent has looked into the merits of the case himself. Unlike the Judge Tim Kelly who presided over the first hearing and determined that the voucher legislation could proceed until further court hearings, this parent is not married or related to any of Governor Jindal's former staff. (Judge Kelly married Jindal's former Chief of Staff Angele Davis). So his perspective may not be skewed in the same direction. What do you think about his analysis?
Does the Louisiana voucher program pass the public choice test?

From Wikipedia:
Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, 536 U.S. 639 (2002), was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court which tested the allowance of school vouchers in relation to the establishment clause of the First Amendment.
Sound familiar? This Supreme Court case overturned precedent and opened the way for the Louisiana K-12
